Welcome to TLC Transitional Life Care

Our Mission

Caring for End of Life Transitions in the Buddhist Tradition

Our Purpose

TLC Transitional Life Care aspires to ease suffering and give encouragement by presenting educational programs, by contributing a concise manual of guidance compiled from both Buddhist and secular resources, ‘Instructions for the Transitional State’, and by offering advice and hands on assistance. We acknowledge that the end of life is a profound opportunity for spiritual understanding, practice and accomplishment, and all of our activities are motivated to support this.

Our Vision

TLC Transitional Life Care offers informal, additional support to those approaching death and to those who have recently died and their families and caregivers. Through training, practice, and assistance, we provide spiritual affirmation and encouragement grounded in the traditional customs and rituals based in Vajrayana Buddhism.

This could include

ongoing educational training programs

bedside companionship and support

hospice and bereavement care referrals and information

arrangement of lama visitations

care of the body at death

assistance with cremations

coordination and help with memorial services

Vajrayana Buddhist rituals following death
